Actually that's the plan. Just one step - send Jeff a letter trumpeting my importance to Hollywood. Now, as if you needed one, there's an incentive to participate. Should I achieve Top 10 status, I will select at random a winning voter from all who nominated me (thus the BCC part). That winner will be rewarded for his/her efforts with a One-of-a-Kind Hollywood Temp Diaries beer stein. You can then use this mug for whatever one might use a beer stein for.

I thank you in advance for your participation. Now get to voting. Here's the letter...

Dear Jeff-

I would like to nominate Temp X from the Hollywood Temp Diaries (http://www.tempdiaries.com) for one of Variety's "10 Assistants To Watch." I've thought long and hard about my decision and I was in no way encouraged to do so by any sort giveaway that could be perceived as "vote buying." It would be very "Un-Hollywood" to do anything unethical or sell out. Now as for the reasons for my nomination:

Temp X tells it like it really is in the Hollywood trenches, which is the most comforting thing someone in my position can ask for.

Temp X has helped many people get jobs and many more get interviews by routinely sending out job postings. How can you dislike a guy who does that?

Temp X compiles the Brown List of Most-Liked and Least-Liked Hollywood Executives. The Brown List is (sadly) a more valuable document than my college diploma.

Temp X was called a "Must-read" by Creative Screenwriting (May/June 2009) and "The definition of meaningless" by Deadline Hollywood. Both of them are compliments and one of them must be right.

Temp X makes me laugh with such features as Another Day in Hollywood, Ask Fake Ari Emanuel and Celebs: They're just like us except better looking and dumber. Additionally, The Bennie Awards recognizing the Worst in Television is the best award show ever.

Temps are the lowest life form in Hollywood. They are lower than assistants. Lower than those in the mail room. Lower than everyone. Why? Because they are completely disposable. You don't like the temp. Get a new one. (Oh and we don't get health insurance, paid vacation, 401k, etc.) I am one of those barnacles on the hull of the good ship "Hollywood." These are my stories.
